Gregory Davis, 46, of Cherryville, was one of five people involved in the wreck.

According to Highway Patrol, Tony Story, 39, of Waco, was under the influence of an impairing substance when he got behind the wheel of his Mitsubishi Eclipse in that wreck. As he was driving north on Cherryville Road, he crossed the double yellow line, investigators say. Story’s car struck a black 200 Nissan then Davis' 1992 white GMC pick-up truck, driven by Davis, head-on causing it to roll down an embankment and land on its roof, according to reports from Highway Patrol.

Davis was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. He succumbed to his injuries on Sept. 27, and his family laid him to rest Saturday, Sept. 30.

Story faces charges of DWI, driving while license revoked, reckless driving and crossing left of center. Now that Davis has died, Story will face additional charges, according to Sgt. J.S. Dowdle with Highway Patrol.

"More charges are forthcoming. We still need to talk with the DA's office," he said.

Davis leaves behind a wife, two daughters and two granddaughters.
